In my estimation, polyurethane motor mount isolaters are a very bad idea. 
I've helped cut some poly isolaters apart with hacksaws and a hammer/chisel, 
that melted during a highway run at legal speeds. This is particuarly bad 
with the left mount that must be separated into its parts to extract from 
around the shift shaft. When the isolaters melt, the whole mount becomes a hard 
blob that cannot be easily disassembled on the car. The heat coming off 
Pantera headers are more than enough to melt the poly I've seen. I suggest 
rubber mounts. FWIW- J DeRyke
